“I welcome the publication of Dr. Flynn’s report today, which I hope will address the many unanswered questions of the families of the victims of the alleged abuse and neglect investigated by Operation Jasmine and help to drive the change needed across our care home system.”
“The report clearly demonstrates the ways in which the criminal justice system has let down the older people and families involved in this investigation.”

The Good Care Guide

There is a specific need for feedback from residents and family of those living in care, residential or nursing homes. Currently when older people need to make a very difficult decision there is an absence of ‘real time’ information about care homes. Partners from across Gwent working with the Good Care Guide have launched a pilot Called “Think About Me” which will allow people to find, rate and review residential and nursing care in Gwent with The Good Care Guide a ‘trip advisor’ style website for care homes.
